Screens???
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2010 8:45 pm
Im very uneducated formally in screenprinting, ive been doing if for abour 3 yrs self taught. I do a lot of business, and so obviously i need to rethink some of my approaches.
Id like to know a good set of products to use as i want to switch from using the wretched waterbased speedball ink on fabric (i love it for posters and paper printing though). I know that is why im having some of the problems im having. So some good plasticol inks and additives, and solvents related to plasticol printing.
Also screens!, i just purchase a new screen(s) per job. But id like to give screen more life, so if anyone could point me to the right products for metal screens , emulsion and remover (that will remove the damn emulsion) and other solvent used to get stubborn ink or emulsion out of a screen.
I know its a lot of juice but any advice will be appreciated so im not killing myself on every job.
